All the picks around them are going for slotted money or below. (unless I’ve missed something).

What possible argument can he be making in the negotiations? “They’re my clients. Because I’m the epitome of a perfect agent and have great hair, my clients deserve more than the slotted figure, unlike these picks around them?”

What took him so long to sign?
